Mildenhall Great Heath is a ward covering the northern heathland and residential fringes of the market town of Mildenhall in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. Its patchwork of heath, suburban streets and farmland gives it a semi-rural character distinct from the town centre, with pockets of open space that reflect the area's historic common land and landscape of reclaimed fens.
The ward’s identity is shaped by close links to RAF Mildenhall, which has long influenced the local economy, housing and community mix, while traditional agriculture and small businesses remain important. The wider Mildenhall area has a noticeable heritage - the famous Mildenhall Treasure was found nearby at West Row - and today community life gravitates around local clubs, parish activities and the services of the neighbouring market town.
